Horrendous U.S./Zionist Crimes Continue in Gaza
Demonstration
of half a million people in London, England May 17, 2025. It marks 77 years of Nakba and opposes
ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.
Within 48 hours in northern Gaza alone, the Israeli occupation army forcibly displaced more than 300,000 Palestinians from their homes and tents, killed over 200 others, and destroyed about 1,000 housing units, according to the Government Media Office (GMO) on May 18.
"The Israeli army also completely or partially destroyed more than 1,000 housing units, including previously damaged homes, and forcibly displaced more than 300,000 civilians towards Gaza City, which lacks the infrastructure needed to shelter them," GMO informed.
Since the Israeli occupation army resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on March 18, 2025, over 3,263 people have been killed and about 9,000 others have been injured, according to medical and media sources from Gaza on May 18.
Five Palestinian journalists were killed on May 18 alone in separate Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, raising the number of journalists killed since October 7, 2023 to more than 222, according to local sources.
The U.S. special envoy on Israeli captives Adam Boehler defended the Israeli genocide in Gaza calling it "a demonstration of strength" which he said is needed to release the captives held by Palestinian Resistance fighters. Speaking to Fox News on May 18, Boehler said, "All Palestinians need this barrage to stop," but it's "through that toughness and through that strength that we're going to see the hostages released."
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri responded, making it clear the Resistance will not release the remaining Israeli captives as long as the occupying regime can continue its genocidal war afterward.
"We will not hand over the occupation's captives as long as it insists on endlessly continuing its aggression against Gaza," Abu Zuhri said.
At least 53,339 Palestinians have been killed and 121,034 wounded since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, according to Gaza's Ministry of Health.
